    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, people are trying to serve themselves. I want to us to look at a situation where we have applicants for this position. The Office of the President has no capacity to vet applicants who want jobs. The people there are their friends. The people they are likely to consider are those they talk to. This new Constitution is supposed to involve all Kenyans who want these jobs. The other question is whether serving judges can qualify for the post of the Chief Justice. To me, they qualify to be considered. They should appear for interviews and whoever qualifies should be given. Let us not make these country two regions. Let us not be divided for political gains, which will not take us anywhere. We need to be Kenyans. We need to be fair to everybody. We need every person to be given a space to be heard. As I said, unless that is done, the harm is already done by those people who feel more important than others. Let me hope that the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs will help us to move forward, so that judges are vetted in a more transparent manner. We should not complain about these processes."
